This week, we’re releasing episode #7 of MedTech Unboxed, with Shaun Rothwell, CEO of EVŌQ Nano. In this episode, Shaun discusses how their EVQ-218 silver nanoparticle antimicrobial platform has the potential to significantly combat healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) and reduce thrombosis. HAIs impact over 1 million hospital patients annually, resulting in significant morbidity, mortality, and approximately $10 billion in healthcare costs each year. According to Shaun, over 20,000 people die every year from urinary catheter infections in the US alone. Our discussion includes: ➡️ Overview of the EVQ-218 silver nanoparticle technology (non-ionic) and why it is superior to conventional silver ions in inhibiting bacterial growth. ➡️ Efforts to reduce HAIs in indwelling catheters by preventing bacteria colonization and biofilm formation on catheter surfaces. ➡️ How EVQ-218 nanoparticles enhance antithrombotic properties in coatings to minimize the risk of blood coagulation. ➡️ Using high energy lasers to manufacture spherical nanoparticles at scale with high consistency in their new 60,000 square foot facility in Salt Lake City.
